Oh baby, they’re making a fortune.
British mom Paris Gough has stunned social media users after revealing that her sons are earning money hand-over-first working full-time as child models.
Six-month-old Hunter and one-year-old Romeo regularly do shoots for various brands, netting thousands of dollars per month.
“In July, they used him (Hunter) in a TV show, so he made £6,000 ($7,445),” boasted the Brit in a viral TikTok video detailing her children’s lucrative earnings. “In August, he had a grocery shoot, a TV appearance and two bookings for clothing and he made £12,000 ($14,889.36).”
Hunter, who’s been modeling since he was one month old, hit the motherload in September, earning nearly $45,000 doing Halloween photo-ops, per the clip.
The minted infant then took a short hiatus in October, doing just one shoot for around $3,474, before raking in around $14,890 in November and over $23,500 in December despite only working three weeks during the latter.
All told, Hunter made around $108,000 in six months — more than the annual salary of an adult investment banking analyst in the US.
However, neither Hunter nor his brother Romeo get to keep their lucrative earnings, which have been put into a savings account that the sibling breadwinners will be able to access when they’re 18.
Viewers were impressed that these model tots were able to make so much dough while still in diapers.
“I thought you were being sarcastic at first!” exclaimed one fan. “They’re absolutely smashing it!”
Another gushed: “Your six-month-old makes more money than I do.”
“What an amazing start in life even if they only do those first few years you’ve set them up for life,” fawned a third.
Meanwhile, others wondered how their own pride and joys could follow suit and become baby breadwinners.
Hint: It helps to be from a “model” family. Gough, who has herself modeled for brands such as H&M, wrote in the comments that she got her sons into the family business by setting up “private shoots which built a portfolio and then went from there with agencies.”
The model mama also has a four-year-old named Saint, who has modeled for marquee brands like Heinz but his career was somewhat cut short by the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown.
However, Gough acknowledges that this unorthodox career path is not for every tot.
“If you don’t want to do this, don’t do it for your child, but don’t judge anyone else for doing this,” she declared.
